City Beat's Justin Roberts had this to say about the new CD Mood Swing:
"Strong vocals, genuine lyrics, great musicianship: Cathryn Beeks and her
“ordeal” create Americana / alt-country music to remind you that decent
country songwriters actually still exist. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder
with the likes of Shawn Colvin and Neko Case, Beeks’ music sounds
skillfully produced and ready for the stage." Justin Roberts

The San Diego Reader had this to say about DESERT MUSIC released in 2006:
"Desert Music is a great album. It's tight and professional. The album has a cohesive motif without all the songs being too similar. Beeks's voice is a mixture of Bonnie Raitt and Jewel, whose music can also be compared to Beeks's. Some of the songs lean toward acoustic and folky; others use more electric guitar and pedal steel to drive home a rockin' country sound. The first three songs explore the topics of traveling, aging, and becoming successful. "Drive America" is a good road-trip song. "Special Words" and "Good to Be" are uplifting, inspirational tunes without being schmaltzy or saccharine. "Special Words" features hand-clapping and a chorus of voices lifting to a sentimental tone without being overdone."Desert Music was: Cathryn Beeks, Matt Silvia, Will Bonnar, Jef Johnson, Rob Garbo, Becky Fleming and Marcia Claire PLUS cameos from Jeff Berkley, John McBride, Dave Beldock, Deadline Friday, Hilary Chambers, Lizzie Wann, Chris Dale, Mark Decerbo, Tim Flack, Simeon Flick, Heather Janiga, Johnny Janiga, Steph Johnson, Myrna Kail, Erica Mantone, Barbara Nesbitt, ken Rahn, Joe Rathburn, Lisa Sanders and Nicki Walker.
